Jeans For A Good Cause

Apex Pharmacy and Home Health Care, earmarks the last Friday of every month as “Jeans Friday". Did you know that each one of the staff members contribute $5.00 on that day just so they can wear their jeans. Then this money is collected for a good reason.

Every month, a different local cause is chosen to benefit from the collection. Employees share their suggestions. They often know of family and friends who are having a medical crisis and need help. Fundraising for these local needs brings the staff closer to philanthropic actions in their community and provides staff camaraderie.

Apex wants to help out. Share your thoughts when you come in for someone who needs a helping hand. Jewel Giorodano, a staff member for over 20 years, even collects bottles and cashes them in as part of the store donations.

At Apex, Jeans Day is a good day all around.
